red

My favorite new fingerless mitt pattern, Evangeline.I have seen these around, but was really drawn to them when Tiennie showed them in a whole array of beautiful colors.I thought it only appropriate to make them in red for my friend Michelle, who celebrates her birthday on Valentines Day. The pattern has two lengths. Wrist or Elbow. This pair is a little in between with five repeats of the pattern before the thumb. A total of six repeats.And a Valentine gift for my mother. I made hers a little shorter. She thought they would be nice to wear inside the house for those cooler days in Florida. Three repeats before the thumb for a total of four repeats.

Guess what?Barbie just saw her Valentine present.Hope they arrive soon.It was 45 when I went to the IRMC this am and 61 when I came home.Your tangled yoke is really beautiful and it looks great no exquisite on you.You are adorable in in and hubby should get something special for his hand in the photo.Love you and HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO YOU.HUGS AND KISSES

I just finished a pair of these in green! We could be elves! Or, I suppose I friends could. I like them in red. Maybe I will get started on my own rainbow! Well, maybe not the whole rainbow. They looks great!

I love the color of your mitts, and how you wrapped them with pretty ribbon. I've had to jump on the band wagon, and I knit my first 'Evangaline' last night ;-) Hope to do the second one today, then I think it's about time I blogged again. I post more often on my 'daily blog', but I haven't knit much this week due to painting in the game room, so haven't had much to write about re: yarn and such!Have a lovely weekend. Did you make cookies this week?

Those are just perfect! I could use a pair when I am in the store since it is an old building, and drafty, my wrists and hands always get cold! I am going to have to check out the pattern, could be the cure for my knitting hiatus!
